[ SOLVED ] WoeUSB getting stuck at Github download on Ubuntu 20.10

If you have been trying to create a Windows 10 bootable USB stick on Ubuntu, using the popular WoeUSB tool, chances are you are getting stuck at downloading uefi-ntfs.img from github.  https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/raw/master/res/uefi/uefi-ntfs.img Resolving github.com (github.com)... 64:ff9b::8c52:7004, 140.82.114.4 Connecting to github.com (github.com)|64:ff9b::8c52:7004|:443...  This time-out error is due to an IP issue with the way the Wget command is trying to get the uefi-ntfs.img file from Github.  "wget --directory-prefix="${download_directory}" https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/raw/master/res/uefi/uefi-ntfs.img"  To fix this, you can just add a -4 after the wget so that wget resolves the GitHub address properly. However, since you can't manually change this command when running the WoeUSB tool ( unless you go into the source file and then make a new version of WoeUSB ), we will have to find another way. Easy Fix - Use the alternate  WoeUSB-ng software
